Joke world.

I heard a new term today. Toxic positivity.

It's a great term, and even though she doesn't use it, Barbara Ehrenreich wrote a book about the ideology, and here's a pretty good talk by her on the topic from awhile back:

I'm also glad since once Sept hits all the places will be flooded with boomers who want to follow the rules and also pay for their purchases at Publix with a paper check.

Probably in the form of a tax credit that, among other things, will require a notorized signature from the person that docked your pay and if they won't sign then tough luck buckaroo.

I dunno he said he directed Education to pay them 100% of their salaries.

Biden just announced the federal government will pay the salaries of school boards/teachers that have their pay docked for mandating masks.

it's the most liberal thing ever to instead try and push back in every fashion against the GOP doing absolutely illegal things libs come in and do a weird haphazard fix.

The cool thing is the ignorant rear end in a top hat fuckers that refuse to vaxx and mask are imploding health care. Even if hospitals weren't full right now, quality of care is just loving poo poo now. The massive loss of staff has not been addressed and throw the huge volume of patients on the pile and everyone is getting poo poo care.

Don't worry, Biden just said he's gonna pay the salaries of school employees who get their salaries docked for mask mandates. He's got this.

I'm kind of scared that by not having a 3rd shot officially, they're going to wall poo poo off from me in a few months

Or the Delta booster will come out, but I won't be eligible because I didn't have an official 3rd shot

"Sorry friend! Get your 3rd shot right now and come back in 8 months for your Delta booster!"

Hopefully by then Shots 1-3 will all be Delta variant shots and I can do another speedrun

My dad died in April because of the poo poo care at the VA hospital in Tucson. Complete lack of any standard of care. He coded and they didn't bother telling my family and sent him home less than a week later. He died two days after they sent him home. I work in healthcare and things have gotten massively worse because no one wants to work in healthcare and get tossed into the woodchipper. My facility had a single nurse and two CNAs covering two separate hallways of patients about 800 feet apart because everyone quit. Three people covering two hallways with a combined total of 80 fall-risk patients where they could only have eyes on 40 at a time.

I haven't worked since January, my wife is disabled and I got tired of only getting one n95 per week.

I have a childhood friend with a history of drug abuse, and he is now somehow making six-figgies operating heavy machinery.

He's been posting on social media that he can get anyone hired who wants to be trained, and he's confused why no one wants to take him up on the offer and why there's so few people working in his factory.

He is vocally anti-vax.

Next 6 months are going to be a bloodbath for those who can't afford to stay home. Feels like the calm before a Tsunami.

Just copy the details from your max titers card onto your original card. If any database check or whatever says oh you only have 2 shots just feign ignorance and adamantly claim it's a mistake. No system is infallible, there will be database entry fuckups, etc.
